Sun protective and dietary habits in AA CLE subjects and normal controls. (a) Sun protective habits (SPH) scores among AA CLE (N=25) and normal controls (N=23). SPH scores were based on averages of five categories (e.g. likelihood to use sleeves, sunscreen, hat, umbrella, and sunglasses). Each category was scored 1 to 4, where 1 = Rarely, 2 = Sometimes, 3 = Often, and 4 = Always. The boxes contain results between the 25th and 75th percentile, with the dark lines in the boxes representing the median (AA CLE=2.2, AA normal=1.8) and the dashed lines in the boxes representing the mean (AA CLE=2.6, AA normal=2.0). (b) Dietary habits among AA CLE and normal controls. The percentages of those taking vitamin D supplements (VitD Suppl), vitamin D-fortified foods (VitD-FF), calcium supplements (Ca Suppl), and multi-vitamins (MV) in the diet were calculated in AA CLE (N=25 for VitD Suppl, VitD-FF, and Ca Suppl; N=24 for MV) and normal controls (N=23 for VitD Suppl, VitD-FF, and Ca Suppl; N=22 for MV). *: p < 0.05.
